2019 MASERATI GHIBLI driver seat adjustment

(Continued)
• Always make all seat belt height
adjustments when the vehicle is
stationary.
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster
for the driver and front
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the guide so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
Push the indicated button above the
shoulder belt guide to release the
anchorage, then move the belt slider
up or down to the fixed position that
fits you best.
WARNING!
After the adjustment, always check
that the slider to which the oscillating
ring is fixed, is locked into one of the
positions provided. With the handgrip
released, push again downward to
allow the anchoring device to click
into place, in the event that it has not
been released in one of the positions
provided. When you release the anchorage try to
move
the belt slider up and down to
make sure that it is locked in position.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedure to
untwist a twisted three point belt.
• Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
• At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm)
above the latch plate, grasp and
twist the belt 180 degrees to create a
fold that begins immediately above
the latch plate.
• Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded belt. The folded belt must
enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
• Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded belt. Passengers Seat Belts All passengers seat belts are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) and can be used to secure a child
restraint system. For additional
information, see “Installing Child
Restraint Systems using the Vehicle
Seat Belt equipped with ALR” under
“Child Restraint Systems” in this
section.
If the passenger seat position should
not be used to accommodate a child
restraint system, only pull the belt out
far enough to comfortably wrap
around the occupant so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. In this case,
allow the belt to retract completely
and then carefully pull out only the
amount of belt necessary to
comfortably wrap around the seat
occupant.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a "click".
WARNING!
• Remember that, in the event of a
violent impact, the passengers in the
rear seats who are not wearing the
seat belts are not only subject toBefore Starting
